Was looking for a cafe nearby and remembered this was on my to go list of cafes. There were so many different choices of pastries and baked goods to choose from, I had a hard time trying to choose which croissant to eat. They also have a range of drinks to choose from. I ended up choosing the Yuzu Pistachio Croissant. The croissant was large and the yuzu was very tarte. I was under the misconception that it was a blend of yuzu and pistachio cream but it only had pistachio bits on top. For around $7, I would say it is a reasonable price. The service was fast and the ambiance was nice though the cafe had very limited siting. I would definitely be back to try the other flavours!
4.5 Absolutely love Le Beau! Their croissants are definitely one of the best in Toronto. I've been here numerous times and find myself coming back again and again.
I tried pistachio croissant for the first time and I was impressed! I liked the egg wash glaze outside and flakyness on top and loved it to be very soft & fresh inside. Air picket seemed proper. There was right amount of pistachio cream and it was delicious!
Ordered for to go. The yuzu croissant is soft and airy, great texture. The yuzu filling was not too sweet, it paired well with the croissant. I really enjoyed the tangy flavour, it was the right amount of sourness to sweetness ratio. The croissant was super flaky but didn't get too much of the pistachio. They have many flavours to choose from, lots of options!
I read about this place a while back that it was known for their croissants. So I bookmarked it for a future visit. Finally, I had a chance to visit here when I was around the neighborhood. I was so excited to try their croissants! As soon as I entered, the buttery smell made my nose tickle with excitement (yum!). There were two staff behind the baked goods and they warmly welcomed me. The decor was simple yet modern- it was black and white with modern lighting fixtures to create an open vibe. There were a few tables, where people up to six could sit and eat. There were so many variety of croissants that I had a difficult time picking. In the end, I chose two items- a Mango and Passionfruit Croissant and a Tiramisu Danish. Both were so delicious! The Mango and Passionfruit Croissant was flaky on the outside and soft on the inside, with the sweet filling inside. The Tiramisu Danish had the same texture as the croissant, with more filling on the outside. Quality baked goods, friendly staff and a clean space, check it out!
Limited seating but plenty of crossiants. Was even able to get some pastries still warm. The crossiants are worth it. It's not an Asian place but they have some Asian inspired flavors. I got a butterscotch latte that was mild in coffee flavor and balanced well. The crossiants are flakier/harder, and very filling. You could probably go with 2 max, and I do recommend going basic or trying a savory one for something more filling. Ordering is fast, sort of like going down the line. Small tables with limited seating, busy in the morning and limited hours so more grab and go.
If you like a croissant with filling, Le Beau is a fantastic place to go. I wouldn't go out of my way for their butter croissant though. They have a variety of flavours to choose from, and some of the flavours are rotational. The selection was full even when I went an hour or so after opening, and the line was short and moved quickly. There are a few tables on the inside as well if you'd like to enjoy the food right away. The interior has tall ceilings and some nice decor on one of the walls as well. I've been here a few times before, and I would definitely return to try some more of their fillings! I've enjoyed the raspberry croissant before, and have also had their apple pie croissant. Both were tasty!
Went to the location near the Distillery. We had the raspberry croissant and the mango croissant. They were delicious. The raspberry was more tart which I liked better than the mango one. The drinks were good as well but overall this was a very expensive snack.
This is definitely my favourite bakery for croissants in this city! They are so innovative with their flavours and the forms of their products. Yesterday I stopped by wanting to try their new strawberry and cream NY roll, but unfortunately it was sold out already. I was overwhelmed by their display of goods where everything looks so good and finally decided to try their chocolate espresso scroll (my first scroll ever here). It was so delicious and the perfect treat! It's got a light chocolatey flavour and goes so well with the espresso flavour. I enjoyed it with their earl grey tea. I enjoyed every bite of it. Even though I go back to them time after time, they always have something new and always full of surprises!
Such a cute spot to grab a quick coffee and bite. They offer a simple selection of drinks to choose from along with a great variety of croissants. I opted for the black sesame latte and the pistachio cream croissant and it did not disappoint! The pastry's texture was so light and so was the cream. The flavor was lightly sweet and balanced well with the buttery flavors of the croissant itself. The cafe is fairly small with maybe a few tables so if you plan on sitting inside make sure to check the availability. The service was also great! The staff were nice and the barista made the drinks so quickly!
Great croissants! We got the affogato hazelnut and pistachio croissants. The flavour of the fillings were exactly as described. I also thought the filling ratio was perfect. They have so many flavours - cannot wait to try them all and the drinks as well. It's a small restaurant but there were still plenty of seats when we went on a Sunday afternoon.
Extemely disappointed by the croissants here. I tried 4 different types - the almond, plain, Dulce de leche, and pistachio cream. The plain croissant smells of egg wash. The others had so little filling for the almost $7 you pay for each one. In my opinion, it's not worth it. I'd rather go to Maman or Little Pebble.
Yelp Review 2023 #27: If you enjoy flaky, light pastries and you happen to be in Toronto, Le Beau is the place to be. This small croissanterie has savory and sweet croissant-based treats as well as coffee and tea. They have brioche, kouign amann, chaussons (the flakier cousin of empanada), cruffin, and danishes. They also have Paris Brest, cookies, and chocolate bars. Honestly, they have so many items I wanted to try but I had to have extra self-control. They have Nutella, chocolate, Roche, pistachio cream, salted caramel, mango-banana-passionfruit, and chestnut. I wanted all the croissants and the cruffins!!! But I made my final selections: pistachio cream croissant, chestnut croissant, and a Cuban danish - washed down with a butterscotch latte, and a matcha latte. Pistachio Cream Croissant: I truly enjoyed this. The croissant itself was perfect. Flaky, lightly crunchy exterior and it gets softer towards the center where the pistachio cream is hiding. The pistachio cream was definitely pleasant. 5/5 Chestnut Croissant: This croissant has unwelcome raspberry in it which was not described on the menu. The raspberry flavor was overpowering the flavor of chestnut. 3/5 Cuban Danish There were a few other savory danish options but I chose this because it was the most promising in terms of flavor and texture. It has ham, cheese, a hint of mustard, and pickles - you get salty, tart, a tad sweet, and a tad spicy. I was not wrong. 4/5 They only have a few small tables so, the best thing to do is grab a few croissants to-go. This spot is really tiny. What I really appreciate about this place is the service. They're super nice. I was trying to get rid of my Canadian coins because it was getting heavy. They let me pay with my coins (all $8 worth) and a few bills.

I may not have a lot of people agree with me on this review but I thought the croissant I had was dry, didn't have that yummy butter taste and the filing was extremely limited. For them to charge $6.50 for this is pretty outrageous. No value for money at all. Agreed the place looks pristine and their croissants are big in size but the look of the cafe and size can only go so far. Save your money and go to Saint Lawrence market and get two chocolate croissants for this price or Hazukido because you can actually taste the butter. read more
Le Beau is a little crossiant store located in downtown Toronto. I picked up a Pitaschio cream crois and Dulce De Leche crois for take out. I love the texture of both crossiants. The pitaschio cream is creamy. Both are very good and recommended to other people. There are lots of crossiant places in Toronto area, but this does stand out from most of the places. read more
Alright this is my favourite croissant in the city right now. Coffee is solid too. 2 decades in the city where Bonjour Brioche used to be my favourite, lived through the Rahier, Thabors, and before it was called that on any Pleasant. Mon K is alright. Pain Perdu was good too but this is my current fav. read more
Still my #1 fav bakery in the city. The prices are slowly creeping up but what isn't these days. They are constantly coming up croissant flavours, check their Instagram for the daily menu. Get their quick as they sell out. Their kouign amann use to be my fav but I think they changed their recipe recently, so it's a touch dry now. I still go back for it though! Good lattes. Great service. read more

Friends, if you haven't try Le Beau, you're gonna regret it. It was phenomenal!! I wish I can start every day with some Le Beau's Latte and croissants. I waited for months to try it out, FINALLY crossed it of from my list! I came there around 12pm, waited for 20 mins to get in, but it's all worth it. I couldn't leave with only one croissant, so I decided to get a box of this beautiful goodies * Cadeau Danish - I was eyeing on their pistachio cream, and that was the only one left!! I am so glad to tried it!! I mean look at that, isn't it a work of art? The pistachio cream and the raspberry go well perfectly. A must!! (12/10) * Hazelnut Affogato Croissant - I'd say this is the BEST croissant I've ever had! From the size, texture, and taste; PERFECTION It is huge compared to other croissants, with flaky shell while soft and airy inside. Super light and not greasy at all. The hazelnut affogato cream is also ftw. I could not say less about this croissant it is love at the first bite. Tips: cut it into half, for best way to enjoy the cream fillings in every bite. (12/10) * Coffee Gianduja Croissant - I like the sweet glazed on the outer layer of it, but the filling is a bit sweet for me. A cup of coffee will balance it out (7/10) * Blueberry Cheesecake Croissant - If you love blueberry cheesecake, this is for you! The cream fillings is rich. (8/10) TIPS BEFORE YOUR VISIT!! Come early before they are sold out‼ There are more selection to choose from, AND it also means that it will be harder for you to decide I was actually going for the pistachio cruffins, the Drop (earl grey), pistachio croissant, butter croissant, and kouign amann but I was too late. read more

YUM YUM YUM! These croissants and pastries are delicious! Very similar to what other reviews have said, these are totally worth the wait! I arrived on a Sunday morning at 8:50am and there was already about 25-35 people ahead of me, so I ended up waiting around 25 minutes to get inside. I started chatting with the employee at the cash register explaining it was my first time here and she thanked me for coming by to check it out. She also said the line during the weekdays usually isn't as long. They usually sell out of their croissants by 1pm, so if you do go, make sure you go early- I promise you won't be disappointed! read more
PASSIONFRUIT DE COCO CROISSANT - Beautiful presentation but the croissant itself was really hard... not at all similar to the croissants I've had in the past that are chewy/fluffy??? - I'd prefer if there was a little more filling for this one? Maybe just because the first couple bites were pretty hard/dry... PARIS BREST - A little sweet for my liking & there was a looot of cream inside too - Strong hazelnut flavour! - I feel like a lot of care went into making this because it looks so so pretty but it was a little overwhelming in terms of sweetness/cream for me ... probably better for people with a major sweet tooth! SEA BUCKTHORN-ADE - Unique flavour, hard to describe much else as I have never tasted anything like this! - Very refreshing, happy I tried something new LOL OTHER Given the high reviews of this place, I definitely wanted to give it a try! We stopped by around 1:45pm on the weekend and had to wait around 10 minutes in line to order... Overall, while the cafe was very pretty and the service was good... the food experience was a little disappointing for me. I'm taking a guess to say it would probably be best to come early in the morning while the croissants are still fresh! read more

Just moves to the neighborhood and I've been going everyweekend. Not a good thing for my weight but a great thing for my mood. This is what I imagine croissants would like in Paris. Buttery, flakey, and filled with sweet home-made cream. I love the flavor variety. It's been a mission for me and my so to try every single flavor and we can't keep up!! Their drink menu is decent as well. Try the cardamom latte. For croissants, I love the ham and gruyere for savory and dulce de leche for sweet. I also love the banoffee pastry. Honestly, you can't go wrong. Service is as fast as it can be but expect long lines on the weekends. There are some limited seatings but they are always taken. Not much to say about the ambiance but expect buttery baked goods smell while you're there. read more
Come early if you want to snag your favourites before they sell out! & prepare to wait in line! I visited le beau with my friends on a Sunday & by the time we got there (around noon) a few items we've been eyeing sold out! However there was still quite a big selection to choose from. I got a box of 6 items; pistachio cream croissant, affogato/hazelnut croissant, banoffe croissant tart, mango passion fruit danish, chocolate/espresso scroll, & the chocolate kouign amann. I was so impressed by the variety of interesting & likeable flavours & seriously wanted to get 1 of each. But I would say after trying all the 6 I got my favourites & def would recommend are the croissants! Don't let pictures fool you the size of these croissants are no joke! They're bigger than my stretched out hands! But I loved everything about the croissants. Seriously you can tell & taste the finesse & attention to detail. The croissant recipe is CHEFS KISS!! Their croissants have so many flakey layers & is super light & airy. On top of that theres a gooey surprise inside waiting for you as you eat it (depending on what flavour you choose; for me it was a pistachio filling & a hazelnut affogato filling that was DELISH) I would say one thing they can improve on is placement of my pastries. I got 6 & the girl who was helping me crammed my pastries & got the presentation all messed up. I can't help but be a little frustrated with that since I'm a picture nazi. Camera eats first!! Even with the hype & lines surrounding le beau they don't compromise on the quality & consistency. I will def be back! This place is a must go if you're a pastry fan like me! read more

All croissants are good, but few are truly great. LaBeau has the best croissants we have ever tried. This includes travelling to Montreal and France. The croissants here are consistently perfect. The flaky exterior is combined with a filling that is always amazing. Personally, we would recommend the pistachio- marzipan, the raspberry-lychee and the Kouign Amann. The prices are high, the lines are long, but it's all worth every penny. We haven't met a single person who's disagreed with our assessment that Le Beau stands head and shoulders above every other pastry shop in Toronto. Tip: everyone comes early to beat the line, but you'll still have to wait a bit. If you show up later in the day, around 2pm, there will still be some selection left without the wait. read more

Simply put, Le Beau Patisserie is an oasis in the gentrifying area of Regent Park. The quality, taste and experience is nothing short of outstanding. The locations interior is stunning, with high ceilings and minimalist display. Get there early as their most popular items sell out fast and there are long lineups, particularly on weekends. In addition to what you'd expect to find at a French bakery, they also offer chocolate, coffee, tea, and some light brunch and lunch options. My personal favourite is their pistachio marzipan croissant. The pistachio marzipan filling is house made. read more

Freshly baked croissants every morning! Buttery and flaky! A huge selection is available but you have to be the early. There is always a line for this place. The Nutella croissant is unique! read more

Excellent patisserie that's new in Regent Park. Cozy but small seating area with friendly and helpful staff. A nice variety of hand-crafter desserts and pastries. A bit on the expensive side - but well worth it. The croissants are delicious - light and flaky - and the hazelnut bar is perfect (not too sweet). Give this place a try! read more
I've tried coming here many times but they were always sold out. I really wanted to like this place and my expectations were sky high when I finally came early enough to choose my croissants. Let's start with the positive, the croissant itself is flaky and the layers are done right! We got 1 savoury croissant and boy I'm happy we did, it definitely tasted really good. I also ordered the almond croissant and the drop, as recommended by the staff. They were TOO sweet. I rarely waste food, but both me and my husband threw it out after just a few bites. Both of them "look" amazing, but why is the drop 80% chocolate? I felt that the chocolate had overwhelmed the pastry, maybe some people like that? We ate all the croissants within 20 minutes of purchase. This is my personal opinion and preference, I'm sure others would find the Drop to their taste. For me, I regret not getting their plain croissant, probably would have upped the rating to at least a 3 star review. read more

Absolutely in love with this place. My friends are definitely sick of how frequent I post this on my story but I'm definitely never gonna sick of the croissants! On a quest to try new ones and every single one of them . So much variety (including sweet and savoury) offered at this location that it's a bit overwhelming tbh, but I haven't had a bad one yet. You can expect a line on the weekends but it moves pretty quick, difficult to get a table tho so expect to take it to go as seating is very limited. read more

I heard from fellow croissant-fiends about Le Beau, so I knew I had to drop by! I arrived mid morning on a weekend, and the line was already 20+ people long. I usually like to test a shop out through their butter croissant, but they were sold out already. I chose a raspberry and a gruyere one. My eyes were larger than my stomach - and after one croissant, I was already very full! I thought the quality was SUPERB and totally worth the price point. It's a very decadent taste. I'll be back to try a few other treats! read more
